Wasted Continuum

So, today after work, I wen to the MN State Fair with my friend, Star. I go every year, some times up to three times. It is only around for the twelve days up to Labor day. It’s one of the biggest state fairs in the US and consequently has a lot of food. Besides people watching, I eat like a mad man when I’m there. This is what I ate this time:

• a corn dog
• half a basket of fries
• teriyaki ostrich on a stick
• pancake on a stick (sausage link dipped in pancake batter, deep fried and on a stick)
• cardamom plum wine ice cream
• Pig Licker (chocolate covered bacon)
• lemonade mixed with drops of rain
• a little pickle dog
• a little pronto pup
• a little chocolate raspberry wine ice cream

I like my fine gourmet foods, my everyday foods, and my disgustingly unhealthy foods. I have a problem and I’m not going to fix it.

PS. I have a 7am flight to Houston on Friday. I’m going to eat a lot there. Oh, and also visit my friend, Linh.

Today was another night of our cooking club. The theme for tonight was lime. I baked some lime butter cookies as a bonus. The main dish I made was a seared ginger lime pork tenderloin. I created this recipe just for tonight. It turned out great so I have decided to share it with you.

I finally got around to trying my hand at baking something complex. I did make some mini-financiers au miel earlier this year, but those where kind of simple. Tonight was the third time baking in all the years I’ve been in the kitchen. All three times happened this year. Today made a chocolate and zucchini cake. The recipe is from the aptly named book, Chocolate and Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen, by Clotilde Dusoulier. I bought the book a while back when it was on one of the end of the shelf displays at Border’s.

I had a great wakame (seaweed) salad recipe that I loved, but I think I have lost it. It’s lost in the terabytes of chaotic data I call my hard drives. I tried searching the web for a replacement, but none of them are the same. So now, I’m left with no choice but to come up with a new one. It’s definitely going to be a bit experimental and slightly untraditional, but that’s where the fun lies. If the recipe turns out. I will post it here. I will write about the results regardless.

I am not sure how long FoodFeed has been around, but it’s a neat idea. It’s basically a site that takes specific twitter posts about what you’re eating and creates a page accessible by anyone with just those tweets. The way it works is simple. First you need to have a twitter account. Next, you add the user “having” as a friend. After that, you basically are good to go. The next time you’re eating something, you send a message to FoodFeed via @having or d having. That post will be added to your FoodFeed which you can access at http://javajunky.foodfeed.us/ (substitute javajunky with your twitter username). Your friends or strangers can even subscribe to a rss feed of your FoodFeed. Ultimately, this is yet another way to get sucked into twitter.
